Technical Information
Comprehensive technical data for QuadCore Karrier Wall Panels, including dimensions, thermal and acoustic performance, certifications, materials, coatings, tolerances, and more.
Applications
QuadCore Karrier Wall Panels are an integral part of a lightweight, factory-engineered building system that comprises individual high-performance insulated panels that provide the support, thermal and weather protection for direct fix or ventilated cavity rainscreen facades.
Available Lengths
Standard lengths: 1.8 - 14.5 m
Longer lengths (non-standard): 14.5 –17.8 m
Shorter lengths (non- standard): Below 1.8 m
Note: Additional costs and transport restrictions may apply for non-standard lengths. All lengths may change for export (outside of the UK).
Dimensions, Weight & Thermal Performance
The QuadCore insulation used in QuadCore Karrier Wall Panels have a Thermal Conductivity (λ) of 0.018W/m.K
The above U-values are calculated based on the QuadCore Karrier Wall Panel component only.
QuadCore Karrier Wall Panels have a Thermal Transmittance (U-Value), calculated using the method required by the Building Regulations Part L2 (England & Wales) and Building Standards Section 6 (Scotland), Part L (Republic of Ireland) and Part F2 (Northern Ireland).
| Core thickness (mm) | 50 | 60 | 80 | 100 | 125 | 150 | 175 | 200 | 220 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| U-value (W/m2K) | 0.38 | 0.31 | 0.23 | 0.18 | 0.15 | 0.12 | 0.10 | 0.09 | 0.08 |
| Weight (kg/m2) | 11.1 | 11.5 | 12.3 | 13.0 | 14.0 | 14.9 | 15.9 | 16.8 | 17.6 |
Certification and Testing
Reaction to Fire
QuadCore® Karrier Wall Panels are classified B-s1,d0 according to the European Reaction to Fire classification system (Euroclasses) BS EN 13501-1: 2018, under the certified name QuadCore® Karrier when using the following internal liners:
